GUIDE Part - Extruded Boss/Base Feature and Dynamic Mirror

The GUIDE utilizes an Extruded Boss/Base feature. What is the Sketch plane? Answer:

The Front Plane is the Sketch plane. The Mid Plane End Condition extrudes the sketch

symmetric about the Front Plane.

How do you sketch a symmetrical 2D profile? Answer: Use a sketched centerline and the

Dynamic Mirror Sketch tool.

Sketching lines and centerlines produce different behavior

depending on how you sketch. Review sketching line

techniques before you begin the GUIDE part.

There are two methods to create a line:

• Method 1: Click the first point of the line. Drag the

mouse pointer to the end of the line and release.

Utilize this technique to create an individual line

segment.

• Method 2: Click the first point of the line. Release

the left mouse button. Move to the end of the line

and click again. The endpoint of the first line

segment becomes the start point of the second line

segment. Move to the end of the second line and

click again.

Utilize these methods to create a chain of line segments. To

end a chain of line segments, double-click on the endpoint or

right-click and select End chain.

Utilize Method 1 to create the individual centerline.

Utilize Method 2 to create the chained profile lines.
